I received a comment the other day on my Server/Workstation audit script from someone saying they had modified my script to audit Exchange 2003.
As you can imagine, I was intrigued and asked to have a look, I cant tell you how much it pleases me that people are able to take the scripts I write and amend/improve them to suite there needs.
Jean has done a great job with this, I ran it against our test exchange cluster and it worked great, the end results are in the same nice format (which I have now improved to work with all... [Lire la suite]

Have you ever installed an Exchange server and wanted to verify your Internet facing services were setup and configured properly? Things like Exchange ActiveSync, AutoDiscover, Outlook Anywhere (RPC/HTTP), and inbound email.

Or what if you get a call or an escalation regarding one of these services not working? How... [Lire la suite]

We have released Update Roll-up 7 for Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB 960384) to the download center. The release of the roll-up via Microsoft Update will happen on March 24.

Since the release of update roll-up 6, we have fixed about 50 issues and wanted to go ahead and provide them to customers. How did this happen in a short span of 5 weeks? I am not inflating the figures.... [Lire la suite]
